I'm a writer.

187
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:25,669
No, sorry.

188
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,114
Never heard of you.

189
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,320
You found me.

190
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,479
Last night, you saved me.

191
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,438
I offered what assistance
I could.

192
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,438
You'll need to settle your bill

193
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,432
and take your souvenir.

194
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,069
(GROANS)
My leg...

195
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,640
- Feels like I've been run over.
- Really?

196
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:54,750
Perhaps you fell.

197
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,069
I wonder.

198
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,558
Would you mind driving me back
to my lodge?

199
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,518
I won't be able to work
the clutch.

200
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,238
You do realise someone
tried to kill you?

201
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,600
My advice is that
you go to the police.

202
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,313
You obviously don't know Iraq.

203
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,352
I'm not the one in bed
with a bullet wound.

204
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,277
I'm investigating the murder
of my friend.

205
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,400
No doubt another matter
you kept from the police.

206
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:18,920
Of course not.

207
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,432
I found him in a sealed tomb
surrounded by stolen artefacts.

208
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,991
The police said he was bitten
by a snake.

209
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,118
When I went back to investigate,
someone shot me.

210
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,376
The person who killed
your friend.

211
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,118
It all adds up
when you think about it.

212
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,999
Unless you're confusing
deduction with speculation.

213
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,754
Really? And you're an expert
in these sorts of things?

214
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,439
I, um.

215
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,758
It's been a difficult few days.

216
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:45,192
If you could just help me
get back home.

217
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,553
Well, I'm afraid last night's
adventures have severely

218
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:50,795
delayed me.

219
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,394
My hosts are probably calling
the embassy.

220
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,672
Where are you going?
Perhaps we could go together?

221
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,719
I'm due at Ur.

222
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,400
As the guest of Mr and Mrs
Leonard Woolley.

223
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,154
Kate and Leo?

224
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,237
Oh, what a perfect coincidence!

225
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:06,913
I'm one of Leonard's
archaeologists.

226
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,514
If you know the Woolleys,
you must have heard of me, I...

227
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,560
I-I live with them.
I'm almost family.

228
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:14,874
I'm Max.

229
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:16,360
Max Mallowan.

230
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,079
Oh, you're Max!

231
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,200
- Max Mallowan?
- (CHUCKLES)

232
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:22,634
They never mentioned you.

233
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,598
AGATHA: Were you expecting the police?

234
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:58,875
MAX: No.

235
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:02,475
Just stop here.

236
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,789
KATHARINE: This is murder,
plain and simple!

237
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,111
You should be hunting down
the monster who did this!

238
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,035
Oh, Agatha!

239
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,437
Oh, thank God you're here!

240
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,517
Something terrible has happened.

241
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,353
This is Agatha Christie.

242
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,310
The world's greatest detective.

243
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,680
Now that she's here, Heaven help
the person who killed Ella.

244
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,438
Well, you can bugger off now.

245
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:50,990
Agatha?

246
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,189
How shall we begin our
investigation?

247

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

248
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,114
I'm sorry about yesterday.

249
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,439
I behaved appallingly.

250
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,199
I didn't even say thank you.

251
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,549
You're not staying?

252
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,998
Coming here was a mistake.

253
00:20:44,120 --> 00:20:45,554
Why did you come?

254
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:48,998
For the archaeology.

255
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,073
How well do you know
the Woolleys?

256
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:57,958
I've met them once.

257
00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:00,795
My decision to come
was a little impulsive.

258
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,952
It's not what I expected.

259
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,989
Well, it can be something
of a madhouse.

260
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,751
Would you like to visit
another dig?

261
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,399
I have a friend excavating
near Kirkuk.

262
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,194
It's much more... normal.

263
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,676
- What will you do?
- Nothing.

264
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,160
I'm used to it.

265
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,757
Used to people trying
to kill you?

266
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,594
- I can handle that.
- What if they try again?

267
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,000
- They won't.
- How do you know?

268
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,957
I'll do some detective work
of my own.

269
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:38,389
Find them first.

270
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:39,874
Detective work?

271
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,952
Like the Continental Op?

272
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,235
Like archaeology.

273
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,075
Follow the clues.

274
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,631
Isn't that what got you shot
in the first place?

275
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,634
I'll be more careful.

276
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,233
How do you think
the monkey died?

277
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:02,079
It spent most of its time biting
people and stealing things

278
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,275
from our rooms.

279
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:04,959
I suppose someone
finally cracked.

280
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,110
Sure, but...

281
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,040
How?

282
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,554
Not why.

283
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,314
They strung her up.
We all saw that.

284
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,917
Have you ever tried to hang
a monkey?

(SCOFFS)

286
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,831
Well, um.

287
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,631
I suppose it would be quite
difficult.

288
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,437
You'd have to catch it, then

289
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,632
tie a noose round its neck,
then...

290
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,390
Stop it from doing what a monkey
does best and climbing away.

291
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,595
Also the realities of hanging
are quite grim.

292
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:40,515
The body...

293
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:42,400
Purges.

294
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,749
Why would anyone fabricate
a monkey's death?

295
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,912
What are you doing here?

296
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,999
Stopping you from getting
yourself killed, I should think.

297
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,277
Well, in that case,
you'll have to stay.

298
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,120
You wouldn't want my death
on your hands.

299
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,830
If I'm going to help,
I'll need to send a telegram.

I want to make
a formal complaint

about the total disregard over
greed blasting protocol.

On whether my role
is what I was employed to do

or what I find myself doing.

406

I was employed as a companion

00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,956
To me and the British Museum.

544
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,556
He was also the brains
in the partnership

545
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:53,789
with Lord Ponsonby.

546
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,070
He had great plans
for their two digs.

547
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,274
But if you don't mind me asking

548
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:00,953
what does his death
have to do with you?

549
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:02,878
I'm helping Mr Mallowan.

550
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:07,512
It seems his recent encounter
with a bullet is related.

551
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,677
Surely this is a matter
for the police?

552
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,037
Yes, but from what I hear, they
don't seem to be doing anything.

553
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:14,793
I imagine
it's a complicated affair

554
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,717
with lots of moving parts.

555
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,992
Then you are confident that
Max's would-be killer

556
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:21,354
will be brought to justice?

557
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,517
(SIGHS)
Not really.

558
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:27,150
My advice to Mr Mallowan is to
stay away from whatever

559
00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:28,674
hornet's nest he disturbed.

560
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,355
I said the same thing.

561
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,636
But he's very young.

562
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,191
There isn't a thing from
my youth I still hold dear.

563
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,320
If only the young
understood that.

564
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,236
I think Mr Mulholland
was poisoned.

565
00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:47,155
- Yes, by a snake.
- More likely a woman.

566
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,599
Or a man.

567
00:37:50,720 --> 00:37:53,633
I see, and you want my
assistance to find out?

568
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:55,595
Very well.

569
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,678
But if I help you, I would ask
you do something for me.

570
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,594
Of course.
Whatever I can.

571
00:38:02,720 --> 00:38:04,233
Your husband, Archie.

572
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,635
We divorced. It's a...
It's a matter of public record.

573
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,114
He had an affair.

574
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,795
- She was much younger than he.
- 24.

575
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:15,996
What is this about?

576
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,872
I'm very sorry,
I'll get to the point.

577
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,560
My wife Lucy is

578
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,157
twenty years younger than me.

579
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,072
She is having an affair with
a person considerably

580
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:28,514
younger than her.

581
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,237
Betrayal is a horrible thing.

582
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,237
I'm reconciled to it.

583
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,636
The problem is not the affair
but the person

584
00:38:35,720 --> 00:38:36,869
she's having it with.

585
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:39,678
You expect her to be hurt.

586
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,519
And you'd like that avoided.

587
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,231
With your experience, I thought
you might be able to advise her.

588
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:47,833
She'll listen to you.

589
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,594
I can't be expected to succeed.

590

Mr Mulholland'?

we'd bury it.

Yes. Remember, you told me
to lock it at all times,

748
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:53,998
Of course,
but if the door was locked

749
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:55,991
how did someone
throw dynamite in?

Would someone tell me
what's going on?

Max was showing me his artefacts

758
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:24,510
and I noticed the dynamite
and I had the ridiculous notion

759
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,200
we were about to be blown
to smithereens.

760
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,715
Another dangerous lapse
in protocol.

761
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:31,194

762
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,998
I must say, Agatha, things
are a lot more interesting

00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:36,957
- since your arrival.
- I'm very sorry.

764

Must've been the excitement
of the moment.

it closed'?

Please do come in, come in.

902

You haven't unpacked?

903
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:05,119
Yes, I'm moving again.

904
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:10,077
Lucy would've enjoyed
my improved circumstances.

905
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:13,394
I'm very sorry.

906
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,549
Her death must be
a terrible shock.

907
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,157
Our relationship was more of a

908
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:22,239
more of a transaction
than a love affair.

909
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:24,995
That doesn't preclude feeling.

910
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:33,953
No, you're right.

911
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:37,797
I have some upsetting news.

912
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:40,672
I wish there was a way
of avoiding it.

913
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:41,915
Go on.

914
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:44,873
Lucy was stealing from the dig.

915
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,639
I should ask for proof but
I imagine I'd be wasting time.

916
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:55,280
You don't strike me as someone
who'd make a mistake like that.

917
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:00,235
I assume her death is connected?

918
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:05,077
It will need to be confirmed
but I suspect, like Patrick

919
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:07,993
she was poisoned.

920
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:10,040
With strychnine.

921
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:12,870
Strychnine?

922
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:15,029
That rings a bell.

923
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:18,795
It's readily available as a
pesticide but a poor choice

924
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:20,799
85 a murder weapon.

925
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:22,749
It's unsubtle.

926
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:24,954
Easy to detect.

927
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,755
It's much better to use selenium
or ricin or arsenic

928
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:31,991
but procuring these in Iraq
must be difficult.

929
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,959
No doubt you have oleander.

930
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:37,512
But someone thinking about
using rat poison

931
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:40,274
<i>likely wouldn't know Nerium
from Olea europaea.</i>

932
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:41,998
You know a lot about poisons.

933
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:44,273
Know the poison,
know the killer.

934
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:45,953
Have you told the police?

935
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:49,755
I wanted to avoid alerting her
co-conspirator.

936
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:51,069
Who is?

937
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:52,955
Marmaduke.

938
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:55,599
The man she was having
an affair with.

939
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:57,469
You found out.

940
01:02:58,320 --> 01:02:59,719
Process of elimination.

941
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:04,395
As much as I'd like to see
Marmaduke disgraced

942
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:07,472
the British Museum pays
handsomely for his artefacts.

943
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:09,792
Why rob Peter to pay Paul?

944
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:13,153
I assume the black market
pays better.

945
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:15,317
- You assume?
- I need proof.

946
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:18,233
What do you need me to do?

947
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:21,559
Arrange a meeting with him.
At the dig.

948
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,116
Is there something
you would like in return?

949
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:30,477
No. Justice for Lucy is enough.

950
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:32,511
But if you're right about
Marmaduke

951
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:34,910
he's likely responsible
for two murders

952
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:36,593
and one attempted murder.

953
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:39,597
What you're suggesting
is dangerous.

954
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:42,480
Oh, I have no intention of
confronting him on my own.

955
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:44,633
And you'll keep my name
out of it?

956

in my profession.

I discovered Lucy was stealing

they'd be saved from some

01:22:57,120 --> 01:22:58,315
And I won't even ask why.

1254
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:00,913
I need to talk to Ezekiel.

1255
01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:05,434
(FLIES BUZZ)

1256
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:21,989
What's she doing here?

1257
01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:27,194
- (CAR DOOR SHUTS)
- What's he doing here?

1258
01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:32,910
Well...

1259
01:23:33,440 --> 01:23:34,760
This is a surprise.

1260
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:37,310
Mrs Christie
wants to talk to us.

1261
01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:39,154
It won't take long.

1262
01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:43,196
I thought you might like
to settle things... privately.

1263
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:45,950
Settle what?

1264
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:48,950
For you,
the ownership of this dig.

1265
01:23:49,640 --> 01:23:52,280
I explained that yesterday.
It's ours.

1266
01:23:52,480 --> 01:23:53,896
Actually,
you said it was the property

1267
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,069
of His Majesty's government.

1268
01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:57,197
As I said, ours.

1269
01:23:57,280 --> 01:23:58,793
I'll have to excuse myself.

1270
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:01,633
These are not discussions
to have in public.

1271
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:05,475
At least put this woman right
before you go.

1272
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:10,157
Yes, you wouldn't want this
woman to pour oil on the fire.

1273
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:17,110
Very well. Shall we?

1274
01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:29,075
Due to the circumstances
surrounding the closure

1275
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:31,197
of this dig,
it has been determined

1276
01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:34,432
by His Majesty's government
that our interests

1277
01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:38,559
are best served by granting
the land lease to a third party.

1278
01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:42,640
A third party?

1279
01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:46,113
What are you talking about?

1280
01:24:46,480 --> 01:24:49,199
- Whose interests?
- Our country's.

1281
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:51,197
Our country needs this dig.

1282
01:24:52,200 --> 01:24:55,511
The history of Mesopotamia
is the history of mankind.

1283
01:24:56,960 --> 01:24:59,349
If we don't own
the world's culture

1284
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,071
how can we be its centre?

1285
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:03,629
And more importantly

1286
01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:05,791
what does this sandbank mean
to anyone else?

1287
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:07,320
Progress.

1288
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:10,476
Which, as Sir Constance
reminded me

1289
01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:14,959
is dependent on the actions
of unreasonable men.

1290
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:20,193
Men prepared to do whatever is
necessary to achieve their goals

1291
01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:22,515
like murder.

1292
01:25:23,160 --> 01:25:25,310
I think you're confusing
goals with duty

1293
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:26,913
and sacrifice.

1294
01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:30,631
I think you're confusing duty
and sacrifice with self-interest

1295
01:25:31,480 --> 01:25:33,915
and murder with something noble.

1296
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:37,438
I always wondered how
a middle-ranking diplomat

1297
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:38,590
got knighted.

1298
01:25:40,200 --> 01:25:41,952
Would you like to explain?

1299
01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:44,910
Well, I'd be delighted
to hear it myself.

1300
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:49,719
Your dig... belongs

1301
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:53,200
to the Iraq Petroleum Company.

1302
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:57,358
Which in turn belongs
to the British government.

1303
01:25:58,120 --> 01:26:02,114
In a short while, your
excavations will be replaced

1304
01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:04,358
with pumpjacks and pipelines.

1305
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:07,793
Instead of artefacts

1306
01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:10,514
oil will be coming from
the ground.

1307
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:13,313
I'm sorry you had to learn
this way.

1308
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:15,994
It's an unfortunate
geographical reality.

1309
01:26:16,360 --> 01:26:19,478
Rest assured, there's a generous
compensation scheme.

1310
01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:21,710
Which comes a little late
for Patrick Mulholland.

1311
01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:24,435
He was your friend!

1312
01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:25,710
He was an obstacle.

1313
01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:29,109
The curse of Ishtar.
You betrayed him!

1314
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:31,399
He was trying to tell me.

1315
01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:34,878
<i>The export “senses,</i>

1316
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:37,439
for the stolen artefacts.

1317
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:41,875
The same scrawled signature

1318
01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:45,234
as Marmaduke's
now defunct lease.

1319
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:48,913
Yours, presumably.

1320
01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:53,914
Before a more lucrative
revenue stream presented itself

1321
01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:57,712
you engaged Marmaduke
to filter artefacts

1322
01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:00,719
and supply a steady stream
to the black market.

1323
01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:04,354
You channelled the official
paperwork through Lucy

1324
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:07,549
who repaid your trust
by starting up an affair

1325
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:09,153
with your untamed peer.

1326
01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:11,673
You murdered your wife?

1327
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:13,314
No, that was Marmaduke.

1328
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:16,399
Lucy could implicate him.

1329
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:21,712
And so he killed her
with the same poison procured

1330
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:22,995
for Patrick Mulholland.

1331
01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:28,116
This wasn't part
of Sir Constance's plan.

1332
01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:32,554
He did leave you with a mess
to clear up.

1333
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:35,356
If blowing someone up
in a confined space

1334
01:27:35,440 --> 01:27:36,510
counts as such.

1335
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:39,559
You killed Ella.

1336
01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:43,315
No, the monkey found the poison
in Marmaduke's room.

1337
01:27:44,680 --> 01:27:47,433
I assume you have the strychnine
on your person.

1338
01:27:48,560 --> 01:27:50,995
One doesn't throw away
usable ammunition.

1339
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:55,350
Especially when expecting
to meet an adversary alone.

1340
01:27:56,560 --> 01:27:59,154
Take a moment to consider
your best interests.

1341
01:27:59,680 --> 01:28:01,956
Reinstating your dig
is within my power.

1342
01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:04,078
I believe your eyes
have turned to Syria.

1343
01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:06,800
That's Viscount Torrance,
isn't it'? We're old friends.

1344
01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:12,517
The decisions I make are for
a future you can't comprehend.

1345
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:15,758
It is my duty to ensure
that in 100 years

1346
01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:18,838
our great country
is still great.

1347
01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:21,833
Which is laudable ambition for
an opportunistic, petty thief.

1348
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:23,399
I need to search you.

1349
01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:26,190
The museum will soon be in need
of a new principal.

1350
01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:27,793
Sir Frederic can't go on
forever.

1351
01:28:28,840 --> 01:28:31,593
My ambition begins and ends
with the history

1352
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:34,149
you're happy to sell
to the highest bidder!

1353
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:37,155
Very well.

1354
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:39,990
There's no need for
anything undignified.

1355
01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:56,120
I warned you.

1356
01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:59,631
That scandal was as good
as death in my profession.

1357
01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:02,476
Do you have any idea
what you've just done?

1358
01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:03,990
My duty.

1359
01:29:06,400 --> 01:29:10,314
You have about 15 minutes before
the effects start to manifest.

1360
01:29:11,120 --> 01:29:12,679
I would advise leaving.

1361
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:16,551
It won't be something
easily forgotten.

1362
01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:27,393
Assuming that's poison
and not water

1363
01:29:28,120 --> 01:29:29,120
I'll stay.

1364
01:29:30,320 --> 01:29:31,719
No man should die alone.

1365
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:35,152
Everyone dies alone.

1366
01:29:36,320 --> 01:29:37,719
I'm not sure that's true.

1367
01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:46,231
Everyone dies
with their conscience.

1368
01:30:09,880 --> 01:30:11,109
Do you like golf?

1369
01:30:13,160 --> 01:30:14,230
I hate it.

1370
01:30:17,520 --> 01:30:18,919
Why did you come here?

1371
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:22,714
To research romance.

1372
01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:24,629
Did it work?

1373
01:30:25,480 --> 01:30:26,480
Yes.

1374
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:28,669
What did you learn?

1375
01:30:32,240 --> 01:30:33,833
That it's outside my control.

1376
01:30:34,480 --> 01:30:37,233
So, I'm not an artefact

1377
01:30:38,280 --> 01:30:40,476
that can be dug up and studied?

1378
01:30:41,720 --> 01:30:43,472
Well, in a few thousand years.

1379
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:45,035
What would they find?

1380
01:30:45,320 --> 01:30:47,755
- That you had a thick head.
- Is that all?

1381
01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:49,069
(LAUGHS)

1382
01:30:50,080 --> 01:30:51,559
A well-proportioned brain.

1383
01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:56,394
Stupid but pretty.

1384
01:30:57,360 --> 01:30:58,794
Just what I was aiming for.

1385
01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:11,277
That's the problem
with archaeology.

1386
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:14,438
It doesn't tell the whole story.

1387
01:31:57,280 --> 01:31:59,715
I'm sorry that Mr Hutchins
is no longer with you.

1388
01:32:00,480 --> 01:32:03,199
The partners thought it best
that he retire.

1389
01:32:03,880 --> 01:32:05,359
His tastes were

1390
01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:07,149
old-fashioned.

1391
01:32:07,480 --> 01:32:10,120
- He didn't like change.
- So I heard.

1392
01:32:13,680 --> 01:32:18,356
I would ask for comments
on my "passion project"

1393
01:32:18,480 --> 01:32:20,596
but perhaps we can avoid
that dance.

1394
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:23,149
We can.

1395
01:32:25,240 --> 01:32:30,474
As promised, the fat,
little detective returns.

1396
01:32:31,680 --> 01:32:32,680
That's wonderful.

1397
01:32:34,160 --> 01:32:35,833
In addition to this, of course.

1398
01:32:37,240 --> 01:32:38,992
Your romance is..

1399
01:32:39,960 --> 01:32:40,995
It isn't romance.

1400
01:32:41,720 --> 01:32:43,950
- It isn't?
- It's a story

1401
01:32:45,240 --> 01:32:50,360
about emotion which,
unlike romance, exists.

1402
01:32:52,480 --> 01:32:53,754
I understand.

1403
01:32:54,520 --> 01:32:57,751
You'll publish it under the name
of Mary Westmacott.

1404
01:32:57,880 --> 01:32:59,314
Oh, a nom de plume?

1405
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:01,149
Very clever.

1406
01:33:01,760 --> 01:33:04,559
Keep the storytelling...
separate.

1407
01:33:05,160 --> 01:33:08,994
Keep the talk of romance from
damaging our bottom line.

1408
01:33:10,440 --> 01:33:13,000
After all, how can a woman
who writes about

1409
01:33:13,080 --> 01:33:15,515
an asexual reasoning machine

1410
01:33:16,080 --> 01:33:17,912
address matters of the heart?

1411
01:33:18,640 --> 01:33:21,154
People would be terrified
I might combine the two.

1412
01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:25,159
And I'm not sure that anyone
would believe

1413
01:33:26,480 --> 01:33:30,678
that murder and love
could exist side by side.

1414

("LONELY NIGHTS
IN HAWAII" BY ANNETTE HANSHAW)
